I just installed a copy of PostgreSQL 9.0 on Windows 7 x64 using the one
click installer, and found that the uuid-ossp contrib module is missing.

I took a look at the zip archives, and the uuid-ossp files are in the 32 bit
build, but not the 64 bit build.

Is this an oversight, or is there some problem with the library on Windows
x64?

The underlying uuid-ossp library isn't supported on Win64, so we can't
build the contrib module unfortunately.
